Overview

About 15 Balfour Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

15 Balfour Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rothwell, Kettering, Kettering (NN14 6DP). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 sits 56.5% above the 2014 sale of £138,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 37.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 71 m² it's 18.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 8 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Balfour Drive is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN14 6DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 15 Balfour Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 15 Balfour Drive was lodged in April 2014 at band C and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 15 Balfour Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN14 6DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Balfour Drive is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
